Another way to stabilize the excesses of government would be to make running for office a terminal proposition. If you run for office and win, then you will have two terms in which to play that game. At the end of your short career, you are given a low key send off. A bottle of your favored booze, a rub and tug, and then your constituents are given hammers and you are retired.
Bureaucrats can get the same sort of treatment. If you go looking for the job, you will be paid a reasonable salary. If you rise through the ranks into management and have a higher position, we get to use smaller hammers. This allows you a longer moment to reflect upon your glorious service. Those poor souls who are thrust into the positions of leadership against their wills will be able to leave after the crisis is past. The sooner you get the task done, the less likely you will be given a hero's send off.
